Dear Hans, Taco,
I'm getting bad English hyphenation all over the place with the recent ConTeXt that comes with luatex:
In the sample, look at the hyphenation of `near'. Did not send this to the list because I don't know if this is an official context release I'm dealing with. However, I'm using pdftex mode, not luatex. \def\sethyphenationvariables {\lefthyphenmin 0\languageparameter\s!lefthyphenmin \relax \righthyphenmin0\languageparameter\s!righthyphenmin\relax \lefthyphenmin \numexpr\lefthyphenmin +\hyphenminoffset\relax \righthyphenmin\numexpr\righthyphenmin+\hyphenminoffset\relax}

Hmm, placed this in the preamble, stilll getting the same bad hyphenation... Does it need to go into a context/base file + reformat? if so which one?

or get the beta
I just downloaded the beta: lm-texnansi-os.enc still has the wrong oldstyle numerals: should be /zero.taboldstyle /one.taboldstyle /two.taboldstyle /three.taboldstyle /four.taboldstyle /five.taboldstyle /six.taboldstyle /seven.taboldstyle /eight.taboldstyle /nine.taboldstyle The lm people have apparently switched across the board; some fonts still support the .oldstyle suffixes in addition to .taboldstyle but others (like lmtt) only support .taboldstyle. So the latter should be the default.

The lm people have apparently switched across the board; some fonts still support the .oldstyle suffixes in addition to .taboldstyle but others (like lmtt) only support .taboldstyle.
I should add that the tfm's for .oldstyle are wrong, even for lmr. So there .oldstyle is really not supported anymore. Hence...
So the latter should be the default.
